I am whole while you are asleep
by Donald R Beckmaneyes shut so tight
but still she sees
movement in sleep
so vividly she dreams
fingers most delicate
yet strong and firm
but tender and soft
from the keys she's learned
a mind so sharp
but fragile and refined
clever and cute
and a body so fine
she has everything
not just looks or smarts
but most importantly
she has my heart

.....displays indeed. the "loss" of a loved one is hard to bear. when do they know.. is it when its too late?
